Book Description
These general guidelines for developing wildlife community habitat models will provide Corps field biologists with an improved understanding of applications of the principles of community ecology. These guidelines meet the need of the field biologist under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act to prevent or mitigate for habitat impacts to wetlands by aiding in the assessment of models to evaluate wildlife community habitat value under different spatial scales. This document provides guidance on using species-area relationships to develop wildlife community habitat models. Establishing clear wildlife resource objectives is important prior to model development. Different measures of species richness can be used to meet different objectives. Species-area curves can be used independently or with either spatial or habitat modifiers. The use of spatial or habitat modifiers improves the power of the species-area relationship in predicting species richness. Limitations of using the species-area relationship include the possibility of overlooking the value of small areas for certain species and the difficulty in considering the effects of regional dynamics on species richness.

Book Description
The world's ecosystems are increasingly threatened by human development. Ecological impact assessment (EcIA) is used to predict and evaluate the impacts of development on ecosystems and their components,thereby providing the information needed to ensure that ecological issues are given full and proper consideration in development planning. Environmental impact assessment (EIA) has emerged as a key to sustainable development by integrating social, economic and environmental issues in many countries. EcIA has a major part to play as a component of EIA but also has other potential applications in environmental planning and management. Ecological Impact Assessment provides a comprehensive review of the EcIA process and summarizes the ecological theories and tools that can be used to understand, explain and evaluate the ecological consequences of development proposals. It is intended for the many individuals and companies involved in EIA and EcIA, as well as other areas of environmental management where impacts on ecosystems need to be evaluated. It will benefit planners, regulators, environmental consultants and scientists and will also provide an invaluable sourcebook and guide for the growing number of undergraduate students taking courses in applied ecology, EIA and related topics in environmental science. A practical management guide for the increasing numbers of practitioners of EcIA. A rapidly expanding subject driven by the proliferation of environmental legislation worldwide.
